Escape velocity on the surface of a planet of radius R and density ρ is V. What will be the escape velocity on the surface of a planet of radius 2R and density 4ρ ?

a
V
b
V2
c
4V
d
2V

detailed solution

Correct option is C

(3)Ve=2GMR  =  2G.  43 πR3ρR  = R83 πG.ρ∴  V'eV=R'R  .  ρ'ρ =  2RR . 4ρρ =4.⇒   V'e=4V.
